Most people are not confused about their lives. They are just participating in transactions they refuse to name. We like to believe love is pure, work is meaningful, and success comes from passion. In reality, much of modern life runs on exchange - money for time, security for desire, approval for silence, comfort for truth. Some people can live this way without cost. Others quietly disintegrate when they try. The Art of Not Selling Yourself is not a self-help book. It does not offer strategies, hacks, or motivation. It offers something far rarer - clarity. This book explores why: Some ...

To love and to be loved are two of the most important goals of life; and yet many people undermine themselves in their quest to attain these very goals. Group therapy can help them resolve roadblocks to emotional intimacy. In order for group leaders to master the techniques of group psychotherapy, it is imperative to have a clear theoretical understanding of the nature of interpersonal change in analytic treatment and the leader’s role in facilitating it. This can only come from many years of a combination of experience as a treatment group member and participation in training groups. ...

For two decades, pastor and leadership consultant Matt Keller has worked with hundreds of influencers, and he has learned that the greatest enhancer or greatest limiter to a person's success is whether someone is teachable. In The Key to Everything, Keller shows how teachability isn't something that some people are born with and others aren't. It is a characteristic that can be learned and grown.

Kids ask questions adults don’t always know how to answer. Not because adults don’t care. Not because kids are wrong to ask. But because some questions don’t come with easy endings. In this book, Calvin—a curious kid with a thoughtful mind—and Pudge—his loyal, snack-loving beagle—wander through everyday moments that turn into something bigger. Dinner tables. Classrooms. Walks around the neighborhood. Quiet nights when thoughts won’t settle down. Each chapter begins with a question many kids have asked… and many adults have avoided. Why do grown-ups pretend not to be afraid...

He shows that almost every decision we make as consumers involves a trade-off between fidelity and convenience between the products we love and the products we need.

When it comes to what we believe, humans see what they want to see. In other words, we have what Julia Galef calls a 'soldier' mindset. From tribalism and wishful thinking, to rationalising in our personal lives and everything in between, we are driven to defend the ideas we most want to believe—and shoot down those we don't. But if we want to get things right more often we should train ourselves to think more like a scout. 

Some Boats Don't Return is a story born in that silence. It’s the story of Claire Ellison, who comes home not to be welcomed, but to reckon. With a father whose presence shaped everything in his absence. With a mother whose disappearance was wrapped in myth and sealed with indifference. And with a town that watched it happen, and helped the forgetting.
